MakerBot Industries

MakerBot Industries was born out of the NYC Resistor hackerspace in 2009. It is a company that produces a 3-D printer kit called MakerBot which sells for under $1,000. Founders Bre Pettis, Adam Mayer, and Zach “Hoeken” Smith used open-source software, the Arduino microcontroller and digital fabrication techniques to create a low-cost competitor to high-end 3-D printers that sell for well over $20,000

MakerBot is an affordable, open source 3D printer rapid prototyping machine developed by Bre Pettis, Zach Hoeken, and Adam Mayer. Build your own MakerBot and it makes things for you, functioning like a personal factory. Digital designs for the MakerBot can be shared on Thingiverse.com, a web-based community initiated by MakerBot Industries, where users post files, document designs, and collaborate on open source hardware.
